Hello from Janis!

We are pleased to announce that we have 5 pairs of tickets to giveaway for “Shopping! The Musical”. Marketing Director, Dan Meagher, saw our newsletter and has generously offered us an opportunity to give 5 lucky friends and associates a chance to see this longest running original musical.

We will provide five ticket certificates (each good for two tickets) for any future Friday 8 PM performance of "Shopping! the Musical." There is no certificate expiration date and the winner's may book any future Friday performance of their choice at the Shelton Theater in San Francisco’s Union Square.

What’s the catch? All we are asking is that you e-mail us ONE person who you think would enjoy receiving our newsletter! That’s it! You will be entered in the drawing which we will be doing on February 20, 2009! Good luck!

Even though the statistics show very little movement we are sensing more activity at open houses and sales at all price points.  January always tends to be slow because of the lack of inventory, but this year is even more so because of the economy.  It will take a couple of months to see if this activity turns into sales or just "tire kickers".  Interest rates continue to stay low and prices are soft, even in the prime areas of San Francisco.  What a GREAT TIME to buy!  A few people are able to see this opportunity and are acting on it so when good properties come on the market there are buyers out there for them.  But it takes preparation, accurate pricing and consistent marketing to attract them.  I actually love this market because it allows skilled agents to show clients how important it is to hire an experienced agent.

Our January market report is now online at our website.

Remember, we know GREAT AGENTS to whom we can refer with confidence. We have already sent some happy buyers and sellers outside of San Francisco. So if you or someone you know needs to buy or sell property somewhere else in the country, keep us in mind. In return for the lead, we'll give you a chance to win our Rewards contest for a weekend in Tahoe.
